Angela Merkel and Hillary Clinton were just named the two Most Powerful Women in the world. But there's a couple more #BossLadies that caught our eye on Forbes' annual list, and they happen to be from the UAE.
H.E. Sheikha Lubna Al Qasimi and Raja Easa Al Gurg join the German Chancellor (1) and presumptive Democratic nominee for US presidency (2) on the list of 100 personalities.
Sheikha Lubna, Minister of State for Tolerance, came in at 43 this year, and it's not the first time she's made the list. in 2015, she ranked 42nd, which means she's dropped a place this year.
The Sheikha is known for her philanthropic efforts, which include helping out the Friends of Cancer Patients Society and being a member of the Board of Directors at the Dubai Autism Centre. She beat the likes of Yahoo's Marissa Mayer, Huffington Post's Ariana Huffington, and fashion designer Diane Von Furstenberg.
